Designing Your Classic TOU Map Templates

In order to help your users to create and maintain data for classic TOU maps, you may define classic TOU map templates, which can be used to generate data for a classic TOU map. The templates may be used to define standard data for a TOU map as well as data for special periods, such as interruptions and holidays. The classic TOU map templates will reference a classic TOU map type. The system will use the TOU group and the minutes per interval from the map type to verify the setup of the template.

For our example, let us first design templates for the 15 minutes active demand TOU map type. Let's assume:

  • On Peak for both winter and summer is from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm, inclusive
  • Off Peak for both winter and summer is all day Saturday and Sunday and from Monday through Friday, Off Peak is from 12AM to 8:45AM, inclusive and from 5:15pm to 11:45pm inclusive.

We'll worry about the season definitions for winter and summer later.

In addition, let's design the curtailment map template. Assume:

  • Curtailment covers 9am to 5pm inclusive on the given curtailment day.
